I have an application that needs key lengths in the range of ~1000, but with relatively limited numbers of keys (few to low tens of thousands).
If you are concerned about the performance impact of long keys, and your application fits a "write-once, read-many" model, then you could always hash the hash keys. Say generate an MD5 digest of the key string, and then use the digest as the hash key.
